Bhubaneswar: The Higher Education Department, Government of Odisha, has reopened the online portal for submission and validation of scholarship applications under the Mukhyamantri Medhabi Chhatra Protsahan Yojana for the academic session 2025–26, allowing fresh students to apply against remaining vacancies.
According to the notification issued by the Department, the portal will remain open for fresh online applications from February 6 to February 26, 2026, with no provision for any further extension. Validation of applications by Heads of Institutions and Principals concerned will continue till March 6, 2026.
The reopening covers multiple scholarship schemes, including e-Medhabruti (UG Merit), e-Medhabruti (PG Merit), e-Medhabruti (Technical and Professional Merit), Vyasakabi Fakir Mohan Bhasabruti Scheme, and Gopabandhu Sikhya Sahayata Yojana.
